I had said earlier that the NRA was helping Mr. Osterweil. You will note that Paul Clement with Daniel Schmutter are now the attorneys for Mr. Osterweil.

In this, from reading the opening brief, it appears that Mr. Clement is the main author. It is a really good read, if a bit long (45 pg - 54 PDF pgs). Here are the main points by Clemkent:
  1. New York’s Ban On Home Handgun Possession By Part-Time State Residents Violates the Second Amendment.
    1. New York’s Ban On Home Handgun Possession By Part-Time State Residents Is, At A Minimum, Subject To Strict Scrutiny.
    2. New York’s Ban On Home Handgun Possession By Part-Time State Residents Substantially and Unconstitutionally Burdens Second Amendment Rights.
  2. New York’s Residency Requirement Arbitrarily Burdens The Fundamental Rights Of Part-Time State Residents In Violation Of The Equal Protection Clause.

While the 2nd CCA comprises the States of Connecticut, New York and Vermont, a positive 2A decision here will have an effect on other Circuits and how they view part-time residents.

More broadly, should the Court reach to the Equal Protection argument (and I would think they would avoid this), it would ultimately impact "visitors" in those States as it regards their own right to self defense.
